Destination Wedding Invitation

-- Destination Wedding Invitation --


Destination Wedding InvitationPlanning to be an island bride is one of the most romantic ways to get married – and a beautiful beach is one of the most romantic backdrops!

If you’re planning a destination wedding, it is important that the invitations portray the feeling that you want your wedding to have – will it be a casual beach affair, or a formal wedding that just happens to be somewhere hot? Choosing the right destination wedding invitation will not only give all your guests the information they need to attend, but it will also set the tone of your wedding!


Beach Brides

Beach brides are unique, and so it only makes sense that the girl getting married on the beach would want a wedding invitation that suits her personality, her taste – and her event! There are so many sub-themes for destination brides to choose from. For beach brides, consider having a unique beach theme such as starfish, dolphins, palm trees, fishies, or beach chairs. Or, simply play up the gorgeous Caribbean colors like lime green, aqua blue and sand.



Other Destinations

Just because you’re a destination bride doesn’t mean you’re heading to the south. Perhaps you’re traveling to Ireland, England, Australia, or South Carolina! Consider choosing a theme that represents the area you’re visiting.


Travel Themed Destination Wedding invitations

One of the most popular trends in destination wedding invitations is to do a fun play on the travel theme. This could include the popular passport theme, which is a booklet type invitation that is actually the size of a United States Passport. Another popular theme is to make all the invitation stationery resemble vintage travel tickets.


Destination Wedding InvitationInformation to Include

Destination brides typically have more information to include in their invitations than the bride who is getting married in her own community. For this reason, the modern pocket fold invitation is a great option. There’s lots of room to include maps, directions, travel itineraries, and other necessary information. Destination brides often create comprehensive websites as well, which gives guests an easy portal to stay in touch with the bride and groom and keep up to date on wedding plans.


Destination Wedding Wording

If you and your guests will be jetting off for a unique ceremony, coming up with a unique rhyme to fill guests in on the details is a great way to set the tone for a playful, fun wedding. There are lots of ideas that can be gathered by surfing the web for inspiration!


Announcements

Many couples send invitations only to the people they know will attend the wedding.

If you are having a reception when you return home, you can send out invitations just to the reception (be sure that it is clear that you are already married), or you can send out announcements. It is also important to send out Save the Dates to your guests, so they have lots of time to book time off work and arrange transportation. These should be sent out as early as possible for a destination wedding.

Destination wedding invitations, like any other wedding invitation, should set the tone of your wedding. Remember to include all the pertinent invitation and follow the same general guidelines and etiquette that apply to regular wedding invitations.

Bon Voyage!
